According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, more than 6,000 Pinellas County residents suffer from the trauma of domestic violence in 2019. Researchers from the Kate Tiedemann College of Business at the University of South Florida Saint Petersburg analyzed local and national economic data on costs of medical care, emergency housing and lost wages as a result of domestic violence to determine the economic impact of domestic violence in Pinellas County is $132 million per year or roughly $22,000 per victim. Victims of sexual assault and domestic violence have economic barriers that prevent them from receiving crisis counseling services. Victims of abuse in Pinellas County entering the program result in 58% of victims that have no health insurance and 85% of the victims would not have been able to afford crisis counseling services without the assistance of Heels to Heal Crisis Counseling program. The effectiveness of counseling services provided by Heels to Heal to victims under this program result in reduced trauma related symptoms, improved quality of life, normal daily functioning and ability to work.

The Shawn Brown Foundation

mission statement

The Shawn Brown Foundation was created to help others, especially those families stricken by Cancer.

Shawn is a grateful and humble cancer survivor since 2008. He is passionate to help others and is motivated to use his musical talents as the platform to do so. Shawn has mentored hundreds of young musicians instrumentally, vocally, educationally and has had many fund raisers to help out as God leads him. The Shawn Brown Foundation has a stellar board of Community leaders that are also very passionate to be a part of this organization!

who is Shawn Brown

Shawn Brown was born to James Brown and Shirley Brown on November the 13,1962, he was the last of six siblings. Shirley Brown was a classically trained pianist and vocalist. James Brown was a chief/jazz vocalist in the United States Navy. This union produced a solid foundation as all of his siblings were musically nurtured and encouraged to pursue their talents. His brother, Hiram Brown, shared the same talents and mentored Shawn to become the entertainer he is today. Shirley Browns spiritual motivations embraced all of her family and grounded them with Christian convictions and a strong faith.

Shawn's musical journey began at the age of 3 when he began playing the piano, and then became the organist, accompanying his mother for their church at 8 years old. He continued to play at his church throughout his adolescent years until he moved to Tampa Florida.

Shawn has 4 beautiful children, three daughters and a son. They became his inspiration and taught him that his music was not just for monetary gain, but to inspire those that may be ill, feed the hungry and mentor young musicians!

I LOVE ST PETE EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND

who we are

A Facebook group started in 2009 looking to help build community and lend a hand to those in need across St. Pete has started a new venture.

Out of the "I Love St. Pete" group, creator and head administrator Stan Arthur says grew a newly opened nonprofit to help members in their time of financial need.

"We are now socially responsible to try to raise money to try to help our group members who are less fortunate or facing a financial emergency in the moment," Arthur said.

The idea came about in 2020 when someone Arthur knew of lost their car in an accident and asked if he could help them raise money. He says he turned to the "I Love St. Pete" Facebook group and in five days raised $3,500.

Stories like these aren't hard to come by in the group of 82,200 people that feel more like an online family than a group of strangers and the "magic" kept happening. So, Arthur decided to find a more permanent way to help members with the creation of the "I Love St. Pete Emergency Relief Fund."

"I think that the sky's the limit. I think that people, so many of them with good hearts, they understand exactly what so many others are going through at this time," Arthur said.

Here's how it works. Members of the Facebook group who are in good standing for more than six months and live in the St. Pete area are eligible to apply for relief.

It's a one‐time gift, as the nonprofit is not set up for ongoing support. You'll need to fill out a form with your request and will be asked to provide proof of your hardship.

According to Arthur, the support has been "phenomenal" with more than $1,000 being raised within 24 hours. He hopes that the nonprofit can help fill the void for people who need immediate assistance and can't wait for other types of aid. "If we can get somebody out of a jam that is gonna make the difference for them between winning and losing then we'll do that," Arthur said.

If you're an "I Love St. Pete" member looking for assistance or are interested in making either a one‐time or monthly donation to the relief fund you can visit helpstpete.org.

PINELLAS PAL

who we are

Pinellas County Sheriff’s Police Athletic League (PAL) is an independent nonprofit that serves at risk youth. PAL is an anticrime program. We exist to go into communities and offer positive programs for youth. In Pinellas we serve the Lealman area, the toughest most neglected neighborhood in the County.

PAL serves youth from kindergarten through 12th grade. We offer afterschool programs that feature academic enrichment, life skills, leadership, sports and youth employment activities.

Additionally, we have an outstanding Drumline program and have produced statewide champion PAL boxers. No child is denied services to PAL due to an inability to pay. The Lealman has many needs, PAL fills the gap by providing a safe place for Halloween each year serving 700-1000 kids and their families. Our Holiday program provide gifts to children and families with an emphasis on toiletries.

Our Back-to-School event connects families with service providers, eye screenings and a fully loaded backpack to start the school year. In the summer we work with our partners to take our rising juniors and seniors on a weeklong college tour visiting 10 campuses. All our programs begin with the idea that at PAL success starts here!
